This article is from WeChat official account:Decent (ID: ziyutongxie2019)< span class = "text-remarks">, author: Yu-child father, the original title: “when the Shenzhen become” Gao Qian capital “”
Speaking of Shenzhen, the most popular label is probably making money.
The capital of making money originates from a stigma created by a Weibo slogan @娱乐璐 at the end of 2020.
In my impression, this passage was widely spread, and a new hot word Shenzhen girl was also derived from the second spread.
However, the long tail of the joke is completely different at the north and south ends.
In Beijing, forget it after you laugh.
After all, Beijing has new hot spots every day, such as:
BeijingA little bit of sand, it became the Northern Song Dynasty.
Beijing people shook the sand on their bodies and forgot about it.
But Shenzhen, where shorts and slippers were so hot in March, is completely different.
Make money, and strongly bind with Shenzhen and “Shenzhen girls”, and continue to ferment in Shenzhen’s major new media.
For a time, it became a kind of reputation.
Indeed, earning money, then wealth, freedom, independence, etc., have a strong impact on men and women, especially women, and it is also in line with the current trend of women’s rise.
But I always feel that this is a difficult topic.
01
Why does the label of making money fit so well with Shenzhen?
First of all, Shenzhen is an economic city.
The economic data here are among the best.
Taking the city as the standard, Shenzhen’s total GDP is 2692.7 billion second only to Beijing and Shanghai, which is equivalent to a medium-sized country.
According to the standards of GDP per capita and wealth creation per unit area, it should be the number one in mainland China.
This is where the headquarters of giants such as Tencent, Huawei, DJI, China Merchants Bank, Ping An Group, and Vanke are located. With 319 listed companies, the worldAmong the top 500 companies, 8 are headquartered in Shenzhen, and among the top 500 companies, 19 are headquartered in Shenzhen…
There is a tradition of doing business, a well-developed financial service system, and a stock exchange. There is only a line of separation from overseas in the sense of customs. There are real estates that you just want to speculate and don’t want to live in…
Moreover, relying on the production system established by the Pearl River Delta for many years of trade and processing, except for aircraft carriers and fifth-generation fighter jets, a complete system from money to production and sales can be quickly found in Shenzhen.
So much so that teacher Ban Yu, who is far away in Shenyang, wrote this a few years ago:
It is said that the entire south is doing business, no one goes to work, and the streets are full of coconut trees. The coconuts hang down in front of you and you can pick them off and eat them. ——”Easy Travel”
Of course, it’s not that you can make money only if you go to Shenzhen.
For example, the famous teacher Mi Meng.
When I was in Shenzhen, I was probably just a pure literary youth + media person + “Friends” fan.
Later she decided to go to Beijing to invest in the new media industry, and began her legend of letting assistants achieve a monthly salary of 50,000.
So, for Mimengs, it was Beijing that brought her huge wealth.
For making money, it might be right to go to a big city, but there is nothing absolute.
Why doesn’t Hangzhou make money? Ant Financial’s IPO, if it weren’t for Papa Ma’s failure to make a mistake, it might have a strong pull on the housing prices of Hangzhou and the earth.
Why doesn’t Beijing make money? Are you in the Kuaishou IPO car? Zheng Shuang’s purchase of a billion-dollar mansion in Shanghai obviously did not earn money from his hometown of Shenyang.
Why didn’t Shanghai make money, let alone that the mansion at Lujiazui in the distance has become a standard feature of domestic film and television works, and the lights will never sleep in order to liberate three-quarters of the suffering people in the world?
……
Why Shenzhen?
Why only Shenzhen?
02
This matter may still have to be considered from the perspective of humanism.
The essence is a philosophical question.
Where are you from, where are you going, and what are you doing?
I came from Dongtu Datang and went to Da Leiyin Temple in Xitian to worship Buddha and ask for sutras…
This is the humanistic demand of the East Asian continent with abundant military virtues in the seventh century AD. From the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Spring and Autumn Period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, and the decisive battles between the Tian Khan and the Prairie Empire in Chang’an, facing various impermanence and quick death, Taoist metaphysics since the Wei and Jin Dynasties “Cultivation for longevity” is Monkey King’s first entrepreneurial project, and he no longer attracts fans.
The people need new solutions.
The 21st century has its own theme.
“I came from Tieling to eat coconut chicken, and I want to go to the window of the world to experience the essence of five thousand years of human civilization.”
If this is the case, there is no difference between Shenzhen and Beijing. Eating coconut chicken is about eating Quanjude. Going to the Window of the World and rounding is about going to the Forbidden City. You have Houhai and I have Houhai. You have the front door and I have the east gate. You have Peking University and I have Shenda. You have Huilongguan and I have Baishizhou. There is a princess grave, I have Bagualing…
There is no difference.
“I come from Tieling, come to Kexing Science Park to work overtime, or go to Huaqiangbei to do business.”
This is different.
As stated in the “Historical Records”
“The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Shenzhen is pure.
This is not famous for its small theater or French bistro. There are no animals hereFine tradition, no traditional martial arts school, travel bloggers such as Qianlong or Cixi have never been here…
It is determined that there will be more people in Shenzhen, taking monetary utilitarianism as the only consideration. The proportion of the local population far exceeds that of Beijing and Shanghai.
This is a humanistic basis for the capital of money.
Very pure.
03
Money is strongly bound to a place, which is not new in history.
In the 15th-16th century, during the great nautical era, the East was synonymous with making money.
The Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama went to India for spices.
Spices, or cloves, pepper and nutmeg, are not what we understand today and are used to make spicy noodles.
Spices are used to preserve food. Before there is a refrigerator, it is very important.
So, the spice ship is the demolition households of the 15th-16th centuries, and it is money. Each shipment of spices from India to Europe is more than 100 times the profit.
Today, the Moluccas (Kepulauan Maluku) in Indonesia, once called the Spice Islands, exudes the sweetness of money.
Whoever controls the Spice Islands will control TSMC in the 16th century.
And recorded in “Marco Polo’s Travel Notes”,
In the sea 1,500 miles east of Khitan (China), there is an island country that is rich in gold.
This Eldorado is called Chipangu in Europe. Later I learned that it was a transliteration of Japan.
Chipangu is Eldorado, and Columbus discovered America with the original intention of finding a route to this Chipangu.
Later, we all (not) knew this famous quote from Frederick Engels:
“Gold is the spell that drove the Spaniards across the Atlantic to the Americas; gold is the first thing white people want when they set foot on a newly discovered coast.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, new places for making money were in the United States and Australia.
Contributed to two famous cities.
One is called Xinjinshan, which is Melbourne, Australia’s second largest city today;
One is called San Francisco, which is what is today in the United States…San Francisco.
It’s a bit of a cold joke.
But the mood of going there for gold back then was no less than that of today’s young people calling fund managers.
In the second half of the 20th century, East Asian societies, known for their struggling genes or human dry batteries, successively contributed to two extraordinary worlds of money.
One is in Tokyo. In Shunji Iwai’s movie, it is called “Gento”. Yuan is the abbreviation of Japanese Yen, as the name implies, the capital of money;
One is Hong Kong. When was the most frequent word among people in Hong Kong not “being a human being is the most important thing to be happy”, but “getting money”. The meaning is pretty close to today’s making money.
So, in the first year of the 2020s, Shenzhen is tied to making money, just as the Italian historical philosopher Benedetto Croce said,
All history is contemporary history.
Probably it is also a kind of Feng Shui rotation, what kind of feeling is this year?.
After all, in the past, the mainland liked to mock Hong Kong as a cultural desert, while the north especially liked to mock Shenzhen as a cultural desert.
Today, Hong Kong has not been talked about too much, and Shenzhen does not care if it is a cultural desert.
When the money comes out, who will compete.
Human history is full of variables, that’s it.
04
I can fully understand why the label of “money” has such a strong resonance in Shenzhen.
For a long time, the image of Shenzhen has a feeling of hot body but fuzzy appearance.
The above is not about the water clubs in Luohu District and Bao’an District.
What is a hot body?
High-rise buildings, neighboring Hong Kong, science and technology centers, financial innovation, housing prices of 100,000 yuan per square meter, etc. There are also Young, Struggle, Factory Girl, Foxconn, Shenzhen Bay No. 1, Ma Nong, 996, Chengzhong Village, Sanhe Dashen, Kexing Science Park…
How to understand the fuzzy appearance?
What exactly is Shenzhen?
For this question.
There are two cities in China, which can be answered simply.
The imperial capital Beijing and the magic capital Shanghai.
The terms Imperial Capital and Magic Capital were first used in the Japanese two-dimensional system, and later entered the popular Chinese system.
“Emperor Capital” is a popular name for the capital of important countries in the two-dimensional world. Tokyo can also be called the imperial capital.
Shanghai is called the Magic City, which comes from the novel “The Magic City” by Japanese writer Sokaze Muramatsu in the 1930s.
The Japanese are quite good at creating concepts.
But apart from the imperial capital and the magic capital, it is not easy for the remaining Chinese cities to give themselves a catchy and widely used nickname.
For example, Guangzhou, what exactly is it?
Inconclusive.
It’s definitely not Huadu. Huadu has only flight attendants and flight attendants and Leather City (actually in BaiCloud area).
So much so as to ask today, which is the third most famous city in the country?
An answer to Tieling is better than an answer to Guangzhou.
After all, that is the end of the universe.
“Pass through the long Milky Way, and at the end is Tieling.”
This beautiful and timeless rhetoric is just one breath.
Shenzhen is short of breath.
Shenzhen, in the early years, there was a name called “Zhaidu”, which was directly derived from those Apple phones running Android in Huaqiangbei, which was not very decent.
But now Huaqiangbei has switched to selling cosmetics, and not so many people call Shenzhen Zhaidu anymore.
For many years, everyone felt that it should be there, but it was impossible to get out.
Finally, after the imperial capital Beijing and the magic capital Shanghai, the money-making Shenzhen was born.
Later, the little girl from Shanghai said, I am the little girl of the magic city, and everyone thinks it’s so cute and cute, Gada.
The little Beijing girl said, I’m sisters from the Imperial Capital. Everyone thinks it’s so magnificent. It’s the smell of old and young men. The next step is to give you a kick.
The girl from Shenzhen said, I’m a money girl, everyone thinks…what else can I say, applaud!
05
In the past, the label of Shenzhen was hope to highlight struggle.
However, the concept of struggle has been made somewhat like that by Bantian Giant Factory’s “xx Struggle Agreement”.
So, the folks can only derive an alternative expression of making money.
From this perspective, making money is also full of freedom.
Vaguely, there is a kind of
Struggle makes you 996,
Make money to set you free.
~ A sense of contrast.
Orwell speaks directly to the insider!
The common people are innocent if they want to make money.
But everyone in a city wants to make money, which is still a bit worrying.
Because of the idea of making money, it still has a strong speculation in nature.
On the one hand, speculation is not something that is morally affirmed.
On the other hand, the people really love speculation because they yearn for something for nothing.
But sometimes, I especially want to ask, so many people say they want to make money, how many people really get money?
Assume that the society is a large WeChat group, and everyone in it wants to make money, not to mention the aesthetic, stylish, interesting, spiritual and other illusory things.
Does it mean that you can get money?
I always feel that everyone wants to make money, which seems to be another way of saying that they are involuntary.
In addition, if you want to make money, it is the secret of the city’s success.
So obviously, the most successful city in China should not be Shenzhen, but Shantou or Wenzhou.
There is nothing to say that Shantou or Wenzhou is embarrassing.
Shantou brine foie gras is delicious, Wenzhou seafood is delicious, drooling…
Salute to Wenzhou businessmen and Chaozhou businessmen.
However, if Shenzhen arrives 40 years later, there is only one theme left to make money.
This is somewhat worrying.
At least, even if a city has a 100% market economy, it can’t just make money.
Many people in Shenzhen have always believed that replacing Hong Kong is not far away.
Whether Shenzhen can replace Hong Kong with lightning speed is not the topic of this article.
But in my humble opinion, if there is any advantage in Hong Kong, apart from overseas in the customs sense, it is that Hong Kong still has a group of professionals.
A city has a large number of professionals. For doctors, it is like having Dr. Zhang Wenhong in Shanghai and Dr. Tao Yong in Beijing. They are all enviable.

At the end of 2020, an animated film “Spiritual Journey” will be released to explore the meaning of life (you can download it if you haven’t seen it).
As an adult, I was deeply moved by it.
In addition to the concepts about life, soul, etc., as a person who has been a brand of a big factory, I also feel that this movie is also an urban promotional film for New York.
To sum up, it’s nothing more than
New York incense, New York incense, New York really TM incense.
I have not lived in New York, but I have lived in London and Tokyo.
The two cities are also very fragrant, I doubt it is even more fragrant than New York.
The Chinese who have lived in those two cities have a lot of homesickness after returning to China. Especially in London. When it comes to London, many people eat fragrant food, constipation is good, and their heads are not bald. At night, their eyes are as wide as copper coins…
Actually, whether Tokyo, New York or London, there is a taste of money.
There are the largest companies and the most possibilities.
But these cities are old chicken thieves, they never emphasize their money color.
On the contrary, they will tell you how colorful life is in New York, every brick in London is history, how many times Tokyo has been destroyed by monsters…
Even Hong Kong was not too keen to talk about money later, and was replaced by “Are you hungry, I will cook a bowl of noodles for you?” It is also a historical inevitability.
Only Shenzhen is the most realistic. Let’s make money together.
Actually, from the perspective of urban packaging,
Shenzhen is really a straight man.
07
Go back to the paragraph itself.
In my opinion, this paragraph is more interesting than Beijing or Shenzhen.
It’s better to say, which of the two cities is more boring.
I have something to admire about Beijing. It is a rare and highly topical city in the country.
It may be the only city in the country where the concept of circle exists.
In November 2020, when it was snowing in Beijing, I was eating shabu-shabu by myself at a shabu-shabu restaurant in Beijing, a famous restaurant in the grassland.
There was a group of people sitting nearby. They were talking about the history of Central Asia, full of terms such as Bukhara, Samarkand, and Khorizm.
Later I learned that it was a group of fans of traditional martial arts from various countries, and of course it was also a group of history fans.
This is a typical Beijing feature.
In fact, I don’t necessarily think that this kind of circle culture is necessarily good, just as I don’t think that there is any difference between the derailment of Xiaosan and the Wei-Jin escort system as “topics”.
But a cityIf there is and only the topic is “little three cheating” or “making money”.
Still a bit boring.
Finally,
In our age, frugality and hard work are no longer encouraged, or even a virtue.
OK.
I don’t want to use medieval values to criticize modern people’s choices. After all, in different eras, the standard for the unity of knowledge and action is changing. Some time ago in the United States, young people buying some stocks are equivalent to helping the gods and justice. Up.
But making money has become a value that everyone praises, and it may not mean the arrival of absolute prosperity.
On the contrary, the giant beast named Neihu haunts people’s heads, making people uneasy.
Finally,
Look forward to Shenzhen be colorful.
In addition to making money, there are more professionals, more interesting people, more lost souls, more missteps…
In addition to making money, we can also occasionally discuss the Wei-Jin gate system or the ten great kings of the Kexing Science Park.
Really, struggle is for freedom, don’t let making money become a PUA.
I wish everyone a self-consistent life.
